When God told Jonah to go to Ninevah to warn them of their sinful ways, Jonah set out quickly—in the opposite direction. You see, Jonah wasn’t too keen on God showing mercy to Jonah’s enemies. And sometimes it is us in our times to see “the others” in our lives as God asks us to see them. In our worship today we will be working through some of these ideas, and praying, singing, thinking about God’s care for others, and God’s care for others through us. We hope that you will join us in our 28 minute worship, 28 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Bob, speaking from Jonah 3:10-4:11. Continue reading →

Paul, writing to the Romans, describes how life within the Church should be. As a sign of our love for each other, we should accept and welcome the fact that all of us have different ways of working out our walk of faith. Paul warns us about being arguing amongst ourselves about things that really are a matter of choice.
We hope that you will join us in our worship, just over 26 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Russ, from Romans 14:1-5.

And as we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where you may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." We believe that Christ extends the invitation to all, and that we come not because we are wholly righteous, but that we are redeemed.
If you would like to share with us at the table we ask that you prepare a piece of a type of bread for you, and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers are given to extend to where you are.
If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.

The children of God have quite a few ways to know how to work things out here on earth. But we sometimes slip and fall, sometimes make some BIG mistakes. Today’s worship looks at that, using three scriptures (from Ezekiel, Romans, and Matthew) showing us the secret for success.
We hope that you will join us in our 28 minute worship, 28 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Bob, speaking from Exodus 3:1-15.

ABOUT OUR DISCIPLES SHEEP:
You may notice in our videos that we have various stuffed sheep with us in worship. To us, these are not toys, but important parts of our church.
It happened this way: When we began producing worship as DisciplesNet in November 2010, one of the first problems we recognized was that when we are speaking to the people on the other end of a camera and internet, we cannot actually see the people to whom we were speaking. It was easy to speak to the other pastors in the room, but as we prayed and preached and spoke, we instead wanted to be reminded of the people for whom we were serving—including people whose best way to attend worship might be online. We wanted to be speaking to them---and as best we could hearing and telling their stories.

So, on a whim, we set some sheep that we’d used for a children’s sermon in front of our speakers, and found that helped! Before we knew it, their number was growing. They spilled over onto the table as we spoke. They have become dear to us and no longer children’s toys— but representations of all of the sheep of God’s pasture, all of God’s children—the real people like you, whom we may not be able to see in real life, but wish never to forget are there, and are each and everyone loved by God more than we can ever comprehend. Those sheep are why we are here.

Moses comes upon a burning bush, and God is speaking to him. In this remarkable time of growing in understanding of the way God hears and responds to God's people, Moses gets some inside information about God's chosen name. What is that, and how does it affect us? We hope you'll join us in worship and find out. Worship is 28 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Bob, speaking from Exodus 3:1-15. Continue reading →
